British painter, draughtsman, printmaker, photographer, and designer. After a brilliant prize-winning career as a student at the Royal College of Art, Hockney had achieved international success by the time he was in his mid-20s, and has since consolidated his position as by far the best-known British artist of his generation. His phenomenal success has been based not only on the flair, wit, and versatility of his work, but also on his colorful personality, which has made him a recognizable figure even to people not particularly interested in art

-Lafayette Lighting Guru, Brian Powell, came to our class and gave amazing workshop.
Check his website:  www.brianpowell.info

1. Lighting is about making a good decision
2. Lighting in layers
3. First decision will be Ambient Light, figure Key Light, and add Fill Light
4. Color, Modifier and Triggers
5. More important what you don't light than what you do
6. Speedlites basically act as their own snoot and studio lights are more exposed* reason to bring studio light on location

Key Equipment...
-Flash Bracket
-Super Clamp
-Jobi Gorilla Pod (flexible tripod) for small flash or camera
-Ball Bungees, zip ties, scissors, tape
-Gels to correct for color (most speedlites are daylight balanced) or for EFFECT
-Velcro straps
-Mini Octobox
-Lastolite Easybox (like a soft box 2'x2')
-Painter's pole
-Instead of a speed-ring use a frame
-Trigger (Paul C. Buff for Alien Bees around $70)
-Lumiquest (10'x14' for headshot portrait or details, composite shots)
-Gary Fong
-Sanyo Interloopt (battery) (@ $200)

Getting your own... (options)
-Vivitar 285 (around $200) OR
Nikon SB28
-Optical Slave (flashzebra.com) senses instant light

After Powered ON...
-Modes- ETTL (speedlite is on your camera and flash compensates for camera settings), M (manual-consistant), Multi (stroboscopic you can change how many times it flashes with each exposure)
-Zoom- one hit, then use scroll wheel (zooms the flash head closer or further from the end) SO at 105mm its like using a snoot,  at 24mm its gives you a broader spread, use diffuser panel to act like a catch light
master on (this specific light sends the signal to the other flashes)
slave on (lightning bolt) (this is the light receiving the signal to trigger)
-MANUAL MODE- set (in middle of wheel) at full power 1/1 and all the way down to ex: 1/128th he usually sets his to 1/8 to 1/4 power, rarely uses full
****KNOW YOUR GEAR! READ THE MANUAL! ****
-Test button is called the pilot (to test the recycle time) (if it turns green and then red it takes awhile to get ready) (green=not ready, red=ready)
